Besan/Gram Flour and Vegetable Kadhi Recipe

This Gram flour and vegetable Kadhi goes well with both Rice or Pulao. Though in a Kadhi vegetables of choice are used, I prefer making one with potato, carrot and drumstick. One can even eat it as a soup.

Ingredients :

1 carrot

2 potatoes

1 drumstick

100 gms Besan/Gram Flour/Chickpea flour

2 tbsps ghee/clarified butter

5 tbsps oil

2 tsps jeera/Cumin seeds

1/2 tsp methi/Fenugreek seeds

4 sprigs curry leaves

6 green chillies

2 inch piece of ginger

1 tbsp tamarind paste

A pinch of turmeric powder

Method :

Deskin the carrot and potato and wash them thoroughly. Chop lengthwise. Chop the Drumstick into bite sized pieces. Grate the ginger. Slit the green chillies. Cook all the vegetables with salt and keep aside. Heat the oil and ghee mixture. Add the jeera and methi. After the jeera stops crackling drop in the curry leaves, green chillies and ginger. Toss. Add the Besan and roast on a slow flame to a deep golden brown. Add the turmeric powder. Toss. Add the cooked vegetables and pour in as much water as required to make a gravy like consistency. Add the tamarind paste. Adjust salt and boil well. Serve with rice, pulao or as a soup.
